• Pests and diseases threatening urban trees under a changing climate (2010, background): “It has no natural enemies in Britain, although CABI scientists are investigating the potential efficacy of a species of psyllid, Aphalara itadori Shinji (Shaw et al., 2009).”
• Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “The Japanese psyllid Aphalara itadori is host-specific (Shaw et al., 2009) and its release for biological control of Japanese knotweed is anticipated in the UK in 2010, which will be the first classical weed biological control introduction in Europe.”
